Recruiters met: 1.5 (I'm meeting someone from The Talent Business in a few hours)
Number of hours procrastinating: Procrastination is only more material for writing.
I wish someone would take a picture of me here, spread out in the cafe around the corner with my laptop looking like a nodding dog with my oversized headphones making for a ridiculous head to headphones ratio. One photo every day and nothing would change except for my outfit and my body mass. Unemployment is working a treat on my waistline. Nothing says "hire me" more than an emancipated looking ginger.
It's only week two and my initial enthusiasm is already waning. I have a self perpetuating issue that recruiters are happy to point out over watery coffee; although I have been working in agencies for almost two years, most junior roles ask for one to two years experience in the role advertised. Grad schemes are the other option (of which I have applied to many in the past) however 250 applications per place isn't a basket I feel I can put all my eggs into, no matter how pretty those eggs may be. The solution? do all of it. Recruiters, grad schemes, random job sites, begging friends, family, pets.
Now as I have been writing (something I should really do at the end of a hunt rather than putting off the inevitable) a friend of mine has responded to my Facebook woes of job hunting with a position.
"Media, marketing & reserach: Sunday Times Best Company"
Spec says they are looking for someone with a good academic record (tick) and an enthusiasm for social media (tick).
